Check-ups
Regular check-ups are
essential to maintaining good dental health. Think of it like your
car. If you don't do regular oil changes and tune-ups one day the
bottom will just fall out. But with regular maintenance it will last
a lot longer. The same goes for your teeth. With regular check-ups you
can avoid the costly charges of emergency dentistry and help your teeth
last a whole lifetime.
Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are a natural
alternative to silver or gold. White porcelain, made to match your
tooth colour, can be used to fill cavities or replace old or damaged
fillings. White fillings are strong, durable and very natural looking.

Sealants
A sealant is used to fill in the deep
groves on the back teeth. These grooves are often too deep for your
tooth brush to clean properly. The tooth is cleaned, a clear fluid
is placed on the tooth and a special light is used to harden the liquid.
Crowns
When teeth are broken or weakened from
large cavities they need the full coverage and strength of a crown.
Crowns can be made for any tooth, either front or back. They can be
tooth-coloured porcelain with no metal, full gold or a combination
of metal and tooth-coloured porcelain depending on the strength required
and what tooth is being crowned.
Veneers
A tooth-coloured porcelain is used as
a facing over existing teeth to close gaps or straighten teeth.

Braces (Orthodontics)
For many children and
adults, braces are the best solution for straightening teeth and closing
spaces. Teeth are moved using wires, elastics and different types of
appliances. No matter what are you are, braces can greatly enhance
your smile and the way your teeth fit together. |
